If I want to make an Octopus Family? Sure, great! Those requests make me really happy, although I must admit that making creatures with a lot of legs isn't my favourite project. And with an octopus I was really lucky, because they all have eigh legs :-) So, I had to make a lot of legs :-) You can find some of the patterns here and here. I think it is a really happy family, don't you think? I made this happy family with Phildar Coton 3 and Phildar Coton 4.

This gorgeous scarf was made by Rajeswari from the blog Diaper Mum. It's her first ever shawl, and I think it's so pretty. Click here to see more pictures of this pretty shawl. You can find a link to the pattern in the blog post. This shawl reminds me of this shawl. That one was very pretty as well. Perhaps it's time that I try to make one myself :-)

This is such a pretty pillow, I'd love to make it myself one day. But my list of projects that I want to make is already very long. Perhaps I'll make it in Spring or Summer, because it's extra nice to make these colourful projects when the sun is shining. The pillow above was made by Anniesdesign, who has a wonderful collection of crochet projects on Flickr (click here). It's definitely worth a visit. She got inspired by this wonderful blog that's also really worth a visit. I'm sure you love them both.

I found another fun and free pattern. It's written in English, but it's not very complicated so perhaps you can figure it out (in case you don't speak English ofcourse :-)). The blog post about this pattern is here. The pattern was designed by Stacey Trock, you probably know her already from this cute website.

Perhaps you already know the Etsy-shop of Pepika or her patterns. I already blogged about one of her patterns before, because the pattern of this cute monkey (click here) is part of the book Zoomigurumi 1 (click here). Now I'm really excited that Pepika want to give away a pattern of your choise to one of my followers. Are you going to join this givewaway? Then leave a reply below and perhaps you're the lucky one. I'll announce the winner tomorrow here on my blog. Good luck!Oh and if you don't want to miss a thing about Pepika, like her facebook-page (click here).

They are so cute, the owls of Little Muggles. I saw them on Pinterest and I couldn't resist blogging about them. There's a free pattern of these owls, you can find it here. There's also a tutorial in the blog post about how to attach the eyes. The pattern is also available as a Ravelry-download. Click here to see this pattern and other patterns of Little Muggles on Ravelry. Enjoy!
